Lambda function as a Docker Image?

[juanmarin96]

Does the plugin work with lambda functions deployed as a Docker Image?

We haven't tested the plugin with Lambda functions deployed as Docker images, and I'd suspect that it'd throw errors.

On the other hand, customers have installed our agent/extension layers (https://layers.newrelic-external.com/) into Lambdas deployed as Docker images, following the procedure outlined by AWS here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/images-create.html. You'd want to be careful to set the handler value and environment variables correctly.

Yeah this project doesn't work with images. Which is unfortunate as only images are able to support 10G size on AWS. I hope it gets planned soon.

I'd like to propose the addition of Docker images pre-integrated with NewRelic's Lambda layer. At present, our team finds itself consistently building and hosting our own Docker images whenever there's a new version of the Lambda layer. This process can be quite cumbersome.

I've observed that NewRelic's competitor, Sentry, offers this convenience for their users. Here's a reference to how they've implemented it: Sentry AWS Lambda Container Image Documentation.

Providing such a feature would greatly streamline our deployment process and enhance user experience. I believe other users would benefit from this addition as well.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
